Hogs Haven
Week 5 of the college football started with an early upset Friday night. Top-10 ranked Florida State went into Charlottesville undefeated but left with their first loss at the hands of the Cavaliers. I’m sure that result makes a contingent of Hogs Haven happy. That wouldn’t be the only upset of the weekend. LSU has started slow offensively despite having a top quarterback prospect in Garrett Nussmeier. It finally caught up to them this weekend against Ole Miss, and the Tigers lost their first game of the season. Alabama took it on the chin against Florida State, but have rounded into form. They took an early lead on the road against Georgia and would not relinquish it. The matchup of the weekend, Oregon going to Penn State, needed overtime to be settled. An interception by the Ducks allowed them to take down he 3rd-ranked Nittany Lions.
The marquee matchup of Week 6 might be Florida State trying to rebound at home against Miami, but I’m looking forward to another game a little more. Last year, Vanderbilt knocked off Alabama when they were ranked #1. The Commodores will visit Tuscaloosa and look to stay undefeated by beating the Crimson Tide for the second year in a row. The top team in the country so far, Ohio State, will be in action against Minnesota. Mississippi State gave Tennessee all it could handle in Week 5, but came up a little short. Will they be able to upset top-ten ranked Texas A&M?
Below are a few players who had a good week and might be able to help out the Commanders. Let me know what you think about these prospects and feel free to post players that stood out to you.
A quarterback from Baylor? Hear me out. Sawyer Robertson has been playing lights out this season. Who leads college football in passing yards and touchdowns? Robertson. Through five games, he has over 1,700 yards and 17 TDs. How has he been doing it? Robertson is a pocket passer who uses all his tools to get the better of coverage. He manipulates defenders by looking them off, then quickly identifying his target and getting the ball out fast. He has no problem working the middle of the field or taking shots deep on the boundary. One thing he could do is tighten up his throwing motion; he has a slight windup on his throws that can allow defenders to get a jump on his passes. Robertson lead Baylor over Oklahoma State with four touchdowns and 393 yards on 24 of 35 passing. He also tacked on a rushing TD.
It wasn’t easy, but Virginia pulled out a huge upset victory over Florida State. The same could be said for J’Mari Taylor’s running against the Seminoles. He didn’t rip off huge runs, but he ran hard and softened the defense using his stocky...
